Conor McGregor prepares for UFC showdown with Dustin Poirier

Irish MMA featherweight star Conor McGregor is set to face American Dustin Poirier on September 27 at UFC 178 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

McGregor has a professional record of 15 wins and 2 losses and is currently on an 11 win streak. The Irishman introduced himself to the UFC with a clinical victory over Marcus Brimage in a first round victory in Stockholm.

The 26-year-old went on to defeat Max Holloway in Boston, where during a decision victory he suffered a torn cruciate ligament injury ruling him out for 10 months. Following a return from injury this month McGregor defeated Brazillian Diego Sanchez in a first round TKO and now has set his sights on Poirier.
